1975, André sort de l’armée. Il est jeune, beau, diplômé et chômeur. Son doux délire : être Douglas Fairbanks, Zorro, Robin des bois… Il tombe amoureux de Marie, comédienne dans une petite troupe de théâtre amateur. Une histoire d’amour qui se brisera pourtant contre le mur d’une société sclérosée. Un film coup de poing, avec une interprétation magistrale de Patrick Dewaëre et Miou-Miou.

André Fragman, nicknamed "Fairbanks" after his childhood idol by his film projectionist father, returns home from military service. He meets and falls in love with Marie, an aspiring actress who is rehearsing for a stage production of 'Alice in Wonderland'. All his attempts to find a job and a way out end up in failure, his friends Étienne and Jean-Pierre are powerless to help him, and the dreamy yet desperate hero loses his mind.
